>>7937258Eh, I'm sure Greg did a much better job than the movie's screenwriters, but the material he had to work was pretty retarded (even though he made the best out of it):
>Toa that turn into half-beasts and have to fight with their INNER DARKNESS>midget Rahkshi who act like the obligatory "Believe in yourself" guides>giant spiders whose powers revolve around... turning people into monsters (without lowering their power level)?>just the very idea of someone out of the Toa turning into a traitorRoodaka and Sidorak were pretty great villains, not going to lie, and it was the first time someone other than Teridax took the reins as the year's arc villain. I can admit that.
I can't blame the story team much, since they were ready to get back to the present time and plan out the Voya Nui arc until Lego ordered another Metru Nui year. But it's just so nonsensical and comes off as Bionicle trying to milk the "heroes struggling with their DARK SIDE" trope that was all the rage in the early/mid 2000s.
I love the 2005 sets (in fact I rank it above 2004), and I'm still nostalgic about that period, but the plot falls apart even upon a brief analysis.
